a Prohibition tragedy.
Chicago He aid,

If there was any danger that people
would forget that prohibition has its trag
edIes as we'll as everything else Iowa
w0U keep the matter in view. The hon.
Icide occurring in Des MOines the other
day was the direct Outgr0W Of that spe-
cies Of legislation which sets up the claim
that one man has right to Re gulate the
appetite of another man, and, in enforcing
the alleged right, to override all the estab-
lished principles OF liberty. 4 constable,
suspeCting that's drayman was delivering
package to s druggist without the proper
authorization, had some words with him,
and at length announced that he would
arrest him without warrant. The dray
man refused TO be arrested without s.
warrant, and the constable, filed with the
zeal generally characteriZing men charged
with undue authority, drew revolver.
That settled his fate. Believing himself
in danger of death, the draYman also drew
a revolver and shot the constable dead. \
coroner's jury exonerated him on the
ground Of self-defense, but he was after
ward arrested for murder, and is row in
custody.
The fact that violence results from the
enforcement Of q law is no argument
against the law Itself, but when crime oc-
ours as q result of vexatiOus system,
and of unusual and arbitrary methods, it
is serious question whether the policy
which leads up to it in so many cases is
good one. Experience in several states
has shown that prOhibitOry enactments
cannot be enforced with the usual ma
chinery of justice. Extraordinary meas
ures must be resorted to, which, as
general thing, are entirely foreign
to the spirit OF liberty, and in
some cases destructive of the rights OF
citizens. The Iowa terrorism is respon-
sibIe tor this mans death, as it has been
responsible for the death and injury of
other men, and for the institution of
sneaking espionage which is lntolersbIe
to freemen. The violation OF commonly
accepted laws for the purpose Of eniorc-
ing one new law is certain TO beget g
spirit of lswlessness on every hsnd. This
has been the iEvariable effect Of efforts
to regulate by law the matters which no
law can reach.

FROM ANY SOURCE

THE GAZETTE will receive and &C,
knowledge donations from any source for
the drouth sufferers. If funds are not
being raised in other towns where there
are parties who desire to help these PEG
pie buy seed, THE GAZETTE will be
pleased to add such contributions to its
list. THE GAZETTE is informed that oats
may be sown as late as March Is, and as
rapidly as funds accumulate from these
donations to buy seed the purchase will
be made. Without aid to procure seed
for planting these people will be IS help
less In the future as they are now. It is
a cause that appeals to the generosity of

gether and the other so per cent. only get
just proportion OF the profits due them
which is but fair conclusion, if a so per
cent. raise in wages were granted it would
be necessary for employers to increase
their incomes to an amount equivalent
to their increase in expenses. What
would be the result of this? Why, all
the products of Iabor-eveTythin9 the
workman eats, and drinks, and
wears, the house he lives in, the books
and newspapers he reads, the amusements
he sfords-if he is lucky enough to
be able to patr0nize any-woud all be
enough higher in price to give the manu-
facturer, or employer of any bind, the
same profit that he makes now. Then it
can readily be seen that the workman
would be no better IF than he is at pres
ent. eyes," says the workingman, "but
what we want is a fair share of the wealth
we create; we don't want the earth, but
when we see a firm making 20 per cent
profit on its capital every year, we
know we do not get what we are en-
titled tor Very well; when you see q
firm you are working for making no profit
whatever, or perhaps losing money in the
course of the year, are you willing to have
your wages reduced, perhaps work for
nothing, and thus bear an equal share of
the burdens son, no." is the reply, "if
an employer is not sharp and active and
economical in business, We are not to
blame for T." But if u coal-heaver can
only earn $1.25 per day, while skilled
mechanic can secure SO, is the employer
TO blame for thar ooh, WELL" says the
workingmen, "of course we do not ex-
pect nor want the wages Of all kinds of
labor raised; There are some working
men who earn good wages enou! at
present, and it is only those who do not
get fair wages that we would have re-
ceive more" Very well; what is fair
wages? Enough for q man TO live on and
support his family? Not necessarily;
some men are not sharp and economical,
does others to support their families, but
their employers are not to blame for that,
while some .meG have no families
to support and can live for much
less than others. Neither is fair
wages such q sum as labor can
secure by combining and monopolizing
the market-gettipg a corner IN labor, so
TO speak. Fair wages is just what labor
will bring with competition in the open
market, the rate being governed by the
supply and the demand. If an employer
pays man 81 per day when there are
several idle men who need the work and
would be glad to do it for $50 per day,
then he is paying just 30 cents per Gay
more than fair price. This may seem
cold and heartIess, but it is logic Just the
same, and the sooner it is realized the
better.

PROHIBITION is bringing hard cider to
the front again. According to the Chi
cago Herald, San Iowa court ordered
that some hard cider which had been suo-
mitted as evidence be analysed, and the
report of the chemist was that it con-
tanned more alcohol than cider. A move
ment against cider is, therefore, TO be
inapgurated, and the farmer who has been
making his own tipple will presently find
himself In trouble. In the old days the
hard cider drunkards were terrors, but
they do not appear to have attracted much
attention in prohibition Iowa until now. -

TALKS ABOUT LAW-By Edmund P Dole
Hough,on, Mitilln & Co, Boston, have
given valuable work 10 the general pub
lie in 'TaIks AoOut Law" This work is
truly popular statement OF what orr
law is and how it is administered, and is
not only popular, but g useful state
ment. To the nOn-prOfessiOnal reader,
Talks About Law is presentation OF the
system of law that will command perusal
by its simple, e4sy ana attractive style.
AS the prospectus states, this
work does not profess to
qualify the reader 10 be his own
lawyer, but it does profess tC give him
such information upon this subject as all
intelligent persons are expected TO have
in regard to subjects of far less interest
and importance. Talks About Law Is
commended to professional and nOn-prO-
fessional readers. Two or three chapters
are devoted to matters OF antiquarian in
terest and curiOsity-tWO chapters
Teacher and Pulpit ana Pulpit and
PeW-tO topics not discussed in gen
eral text books; two chapters-BOth
Sides of the Jury Question, and The Di
VOTCe QUestiOn-tO q consideration of
what the law should be; and the work as
3 whole contains much that is of interest
and information TO intelligent persons.
This work is Endorsed by high testimo-
malls, and is a most attractive presenta-
ton or what the nOn-prOfessiOnRl reader
regards as ga dry subject"

EASY POLITICAL ECONOMY.

Suppose the workmen who strike for
higher wages were all TO receive the
price they ssk-suppose they were all TO
receive an advance of 100 per cent, for
instance, 81 day men getting 50, 81 a
day men getting 81, S. per day men get
ting Sc, etc, would they be any better of
than they are to-day? Let US see. As
Stunning that as rule employers get but a
fair and reasonable return for their in
vestments and their own labor,
which, considering the large number
of failures in business, and that
while % per cent. of the employ
ers make unreasonable profits in q
given industry, % per cent. may fail alto

MASSACHUSETTS Democrats are dis
posed to criticise the late conduct Of Sen
ator Hoar. They can see little patriotism
in the man who could sit in meek and for
bearing silence under the sIsnder0us at
tack of Mr.. Blaine upon their state and
yet rise in fury against Mr.. Carlisle be
cause of the failure of the Blair educa-
tionaI bill. The Kentucky Senators de-
servedIy rebuked this unwarrantable as
sault made by Mr.. Hoar from behind the
protecting detenses of parliamentary
methods.

TEXAS has refused to teach its youth in
public schools the evils OF looking on the
wine when it is red and has sugar in il.
OF course it was Senator Bill Burgess
who moved to amend the bill by requiring
the person selected to instiu hostility to
the still in the minds of public school
scholars "to be well versed in mixed
drinks. and who is capable CT teaching
the young Texan how to distinguish be-
tween brandy smsshes, whisky cocktails,
gin phizzles, mint inllIiiP7s, tom cad jerry,
sangarees, and Others too numerous to
mention, and to teach the composition,
blessings and injuries to be derived from
each" And of course it was Senator
Terrell who wanted the text book to con-
tain chapter on youth, which shall be
illustrated with drawings of the flowers
that bloom in the spring; the chapter on
hope, BY the picture of young lady
waiting for the season when ice cream
will be ripe, and the chapter on ambition,
by life sized portrait Of the most digni-
fed member of the Senate. 1t is Just
such men as Burgess and Terrell who
manage to show US how difficult it is to
legislate morality and religion into poor,
sin-stricken humanity.

IT IS matter of establishment that at
ter so many lessons on the danger Of
panic SO few seem to possess presence of
mind in danger. Not long since there
was terrible loss of life IN London
theater which would have been avoided
had the audience kept their seats until
the cause of alarm was escertained. Last
week the simple falling of a lighted can
die on the stage of a theater in Pniladel-
phia frightened the spectators so that
nothing but the GOODNESS and entreaties
of the leading actor saved them from q
similar catastrophe. After quiet wss re-
stored he soundly berated the people for
exhibiting 80 much CoWsrdiCe in the face
of suspected danger. The most senseless
exhibit of panic occurred a few days
since on one of the elevated railways in
New Young city, causing the death Of
three men and the injury of seven others,
all being entirely unnecessary. a block
sde of the trains caused by fire induced
many to walk the track. When the trains
commenced moving the shaking Of the
track so frightened the footmen that two
of them, panic stricken, clutched each
other wildly and went down thirty feet
to the street below. Others jumped in the
maddest alarm, for had they sat still,
stood still, or even walked on, they
would have been unframed. This was
not the limit of folly for it was with
great difficulty people aboard the cars
could be prevented by the guards from
leaping from the platforms to the street.
Men ought to be wiser than sheep, but
this shows an amount OF unWisdom of
which sheep would be ashamed. Par
ents, teachers, all who have control Of
any building where numbers congregate,
should use their best endeaVors to so dis
cipliIe those over whom they have su,
therity, that scenes like these will not
occur, and by education develop and
foster quiet self possession, which will
enable the owner to calmly meet danger
and use his faculties clearly in great
emergencies

CAPT. EADS' UNFINISHED WORK.
The death of Captain James B. Eads
removes the greatest mind in the field of
engineering science this country has ever
known. Eads' fame was worldwide, and
at least two of his works-the bridge at
st. Louis and the jetties at the mouth
of the Mississippi-Will be enduring
monuments to his genius. 1t is to be re-
GREETED, deplored in fact, that it was his
fate to pass away before he completed
what would have been his grandest work,
an accomplishment that would have shed
Iuster on the American name. WesHude,
of course, to his plan for virtually uniting
the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by a ship railway across the 18TH

HOW PRIVATE GEOR-E W. PECK PIT

The house of Bedford, Clarke ( Co,
Chicago, have kindly remembered the
book taUle of THE GAZETTE in the way Of
this volume of fun. To say that It is by
the author OF "Peck's Bad Boy" is guar
antee for many hearty laughs. The au-
thor describes the purport Of this volume
in his inimitable way, as: "War Papers,
Ia Century Magazine from the stand
point Of s private soldier who was afraid
of his shadow, and who didn't want 20
fight unless he had to-" To this descrip-
tiOn nothing need be added unless it be to
say that the Illustrations are in keeping
with the text and thoroughly express the
righteousness of the adventures # this
doughty warrior.
